A Civil War drama with laughs? It may sound a bit odd, but that’s exactly what this unique play is – funny as well as intensely dramatic, with most of the humor stemming from the idiosyncrasies of the four characters. It’s 1861, on the eve of the American Civil War. A runaway slave, Shepard Mallory, shows up at a Union-held fort in Virginia demanding refuge. But federal law compels the return of escaped slaves to their owners, which puts Major General Benjamin Butler, commanding officer at the fort, in the hot seat. Does he uphold the law when Major Cary of the Confederacy appears to collect Mallory? Or does he find a way to bend the law in the slave’s favor? This critically acclaimed play is based on real historical characters and a real event that ultimately changed the course of American history.

If you enjoyed our production of The 39 Steps a couple of seasons ago, you’ll love this adaption of Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary classic. It’s been a huge hit both in the UK and abroad. The authors have taken the basic elements of the original story and turned them into a hilarious spoof for the stage. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead surrounded by the paw prints of a gigantic hound, the famous Sherlock Holmes, and his colleague Dr Watson are summoned to investigate. They hear terrifying tales of a monstrous beast haunting the neighbourhood, rumours of a family curse, and reports of a deranged killer on the loose. Scary stuff, all presented in an extremely amusing and suspenseful manner. And what makes it even more fun? It’s done with just three actors playing all the roles!

He means well, but… This could very well describe our hero Jeff, a young security guard working the night shift in the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building. One night he learns about the possible cover-up of a criminal investigation involving his black supervisor, William, and a macho cop named Bill who frequently visits a prostitute living in the building. What does Jeff do with the information he’s privy to? Does he keep his mouth shut and let the people involved in the situation work things out? That, as we soon discover, is not one of Jeff’s strong points. In fact, it’s his impulse to get involved and “do the right thing” that gets him into trouble. And it doesn’t help matters that he gets a hopeless crush on Dawn, the cop’s pretty female partner, even though he knows that the two officers are having an affair.

A masterpiece. The best drama, the best comedy, and the best romance of the year, all rolled into one.

This rock musical fantasy, in which all the actors not only sing but play various instruments as well, was recently a big hit at the Edinburgh Festival and in the US and UK. It follows the story of Trevor, an insecure young man looking for love, who has lizard-like scales for skin due to a freak childhood accident. Because of his odd appearance, he only ventures outside during the annual festival where everyone is dressed up as lizards. On the internet he meets Cary, a young man who accepts him as he is. The two friends encounter a mysterious female singer named Siren, and are propelled into a mythological conflict in which a dragon-filled apocalypse threatens them and the entire world. Along the way, Trevor discovers that he is actually beautiful and has supernatural powers. Expect the unusual from this musical treat that was inspired by works such as X-Men and Spider-Man.
